Loftus-Cheek took to Twitter to provide an update on his progress, posting a picture of himself and team-mates Reece James, Marco van Ginkel and Jamal Blackman on exercise bikes, accompanied by the caption: 'Road to recovery'.

Defender James is recovering from an ankle problem sustained playing for England U20s.

Talented midfielder Loftus-Cheek could be back in four to six weeks after an achilles injury

Midfielder Van Ginkel, meanwhile, has been struggling with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Goalkeeper Blackman suffered a broken tibia while on loan at Leeds last season.

While it appears unlikely that Van Ginkel and Blackman will play a major part for Chelsea once fully fit, Loftus-Cheek and James could be key players for Lampard.

In addition, Callum Hudson-Odoi, who had been out with an achilles problem, has returned to full training.
